dear herbert, i assume you are referring to kppp and are trying to set up
your dialup connection?
if so then if you are finding that /dev/ttyS4 is not listed as an option
under kppp>setup>device then as /dev/modem is listed all you need to do is
make /dev/modem a symlink to /dev/ttyS4 (which is the linux equivalent to com
5) and choose /dev/modem as your device
if /dev/modem already exists then it probably is a symbolic link and you
should check to see if it already points to /dev/ttyS4:
#cd /dev
#ls -l modem
if it exists and points to something else i would be sure that your modem is
on com 5 before proceeding
to make the symlink:
#cd /dev
if /dev/modem exists then
#rm modem
either way then
#ln -s /dev/ttyS4 modem
bascule
